The right time to second guess yourself

Why is a young African-American girl 6 times more likely to be suspended for the same classroom behavior as her white female classmates?

Irfhana gave this talk in New York, NY at TED-Ed Weekend. To find out more about TED-Ed Weekend, go here: bit.ly/2mCCQDn.
